m = mass of granite boulder = 20 g

c = specific heat of granite boulder = 0.79 J/gC

T₀ = initial temperature of granite boulder = 10 °C

T = final temperature of granite boulder = 29 °C

Q = heat gained by granite boulder as energy from the sun

heat gained by granite boulder is given as

Q = m c (T - T₀)

inserting the values

Q = (20) (0.79) (29 - 10)

Q = 300.2 J

What causes the very high surface temperature on Venus
IRINA_888 [86]
Venus is so hot because it is surrounded by a very thick atmosphere which is about 100 times more massive than our atmosphere here on Earth. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, it heats up the surface of Venus. ... The heat becomes trapped and builds up to extremely high temperatures.

Can someone help me?​
Leviafan [203]

Car X traveled 3d distance in t time.  Car Y traveled 2d distance in t time. Therefore, the speed of car X, is 3d/t,  the speed of car Y, is 2d/t. Since speed is the distance taken in a given time.

In figure-2, they are at the same place, we are asked to find car Y's position when car X is at line-A. We can calculate the time car X needs to travel to there. Let's say that car X reaches line-A in t' time.

V_x .t' = 3d\\ \frac{3d}{t} .t' = 3d\\ t'=t

Okay, it takes t time for car X to reach line-A. Let's see how far does car Y goes.

V_y.t = \frac{2d}{t} .t = 2d

We found that car Y travels 2d distance. So, when car X reaches line-A, car Y is just a d distance behind car X.

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

r_{P}=2r_{E}

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}

Which yields:

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}

So we can now compare the two gravities:

\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.
